Unfortunately, this fix seems to be for the *server side*.  *I* don't have 
access to that.

What seems to happen is that *sometimes* (and not esp. rarely), an item for the holds shelf will get tossed into the outbound ILL bin. Since we don't print a transit slip (C/W Mars is using an automated conveyer belt system to scan items and sort them automagically, so the slips are not needed except for items that have the barcode sticker in a strange place), unless the person doing the checkins *carefully* reads the dialog pop up, there is a non-trivial chance that the item will get tossed into the outbound bin. That is, the the person doing the checkins is NOT reading the dialog, but sees the turtle and without thinking tosses the item.
